Eastender has swept all before him in his home state this campaign claiming the Cups treble and the Tasmanian stayer heads to the Adelaide Cup on Monday as one of the main fancies.

The Barry Campbell-trained gelding sits on the second line of betting at $5 behind Bondeiger for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace at $4.60.

The pair met in last year's Launceston Cup, where Bondeiger got the the better of the battle when trained by Darren Weir, but Campbell said his charge had improved in the 12 months since and as impressive as his campaign has been, the slow-maturing five-year-old could be even better next preparation.
